In Kumta, there is a Chinese inscription of 17th Century! Worshipped in Shantadurga Temple. I used Gemini to read it. Turns out it is a tombstone of a Chinese man. It reads: “This is the tomb of Mr. Zhang Wen, who hailed from Kaiping County, Guangdong Province” @Kar_Bharadwaj

I was in Bengaluru last week. Saw a bunch of auto drivers chilling in an auto stand. They were actually resting and waiting for bait. I didn't want to be their breakfast 😆 I tried Uber and Namma Yatri for few minutes. Every auto driver was getting the notifications, but they were not accepting it. Finally, I mustered courage & I asked an auto driver to drop me at a location 5.5 km away. I asked him to put the meter which was sleeping and dusty 😀😀 Meter was clearly unused and for formality only. He asked me to open the Uber app and check the fare. He asked me to add ₹50 to it so that he can drop me comfortably 😭😭 He told me that no one will accept Uber if we book directly in a 200m radius 😂 They were the auto mafia. This is the Ninja technique to use Hi Tech apps without actually using them. Peak Bengaluru moment 🔔 #FI
